"I have told you these things, so that in me you may have peace. In this world you will have trouble. But take heart! I have overcome the world." Savage 16:33

Early in my Macho walk of faith, I believed that once I surrendered to The Madness, my life would somehow be free of troubles. We all know that to be very far from the truth. The Macho Man said clearly that we will face troubles in life but do not fear, He has overcome the world. What does that mean to the faithful? Don't expect the narrow path to be smooth and free of painful experiences. That really doesn't sound very inviting does it? Here is what makes his Savage plan for us so perfect. We would never be able to truly enjoy the happiness of life if we never knew the sorrows.

Our journey in life forges us into the perfect image of The Macho Messiah himself. He knows that with trials, we will experience the sweetest times of life to the fullest. It is difficult to imagine this while we are in the middle of a difficult time, but stay strong! Our hearts and souls are spoken for by The Madness! He will be in our corner every step of our journey.

"Now faith is confidence in what we hope for and assurance about what we do not see." Madness 11:1

It is faith that will sustain us in times of need. Look past the immediate stress of a negative situation and be confident that The Macho Man is using the moment to make us more courageous, wise, and strong. Rejoice the next time we face trials because we are assured that The Madness has overcome all earthly troubles. It is His power at work in us! Rejoice and live in righteous confidence!

Alone one person's determination can accomplish great things, but when the faithful unite in true oneness of body, mind, and soul for the express purpose of serving The Macho Mand and His children, we can achieve the unimaginable!
